Henry's latest linguistic feat: singing. Last week he burst into a stirring rendition of "Happy Birthday" when someone mentioned cake. He's also working on the ABCs, "Trot, Old Joe," and "My Lady Wind" from his music class CDs. Very funny.
Other developments: He likes to pretend we're a family of bears. Or rather, he likes to pretend that Tom and I are bears, and that he's a honeybee who has to hide from us. When we find him he stings us with his finger. Even when we're not playing the game he calls Tom "Daddy Bear." And when we're not bears, he's started calling us by our first names. It's quite hilarious to enter the room and hear Henry say to me, "Hi Susan!", or ask "Where's Tom?"
On the negative side, Henry's been throwing tantrums when he doesn't get his way. They vary a lot in duration and intensity, but all the acting up is stressful to deal with.
Preschool starts next week. We visited the classroom yesterday and it went very well. Henry was having so much fun playing with all the stuff that he didn't want to leave. Hopefully he'll enjoy it just as much when Mommy Bear and Daddy Bear aren't there.
